This is not true.
Yes, Build Blitz will not be building full robots this year, but that's not because we think that doing so would be "cheating". We're very appreciative of Ri3D teams are doing with full robots, and think that these full robot builds can be both educational and inspirational experiences for the entire FRC community. Part of the reason we felt comfortable not doing full robots is because we knew that there would be a multitude of groups doing full robots that many members of this community want to see. Build Blitz is going to be focusing on developing game specific resources and examples to help teams for the 2015 season. Combining what we're doing with what the Ri3D groups will collectively raise the bar for all teams who seek out these resources. Remember it's not about one methodology being right or better than the other, it's about providing a diverse set of resources such that teams have a spectrum of options to choose from.
In summation, we're excited to see what each of the seven Ri3D groups come up with and can't wait to see how the community uses all of these resources to raise the level of play for the 2015 season.
